WINDOW MOUNTING.

Application filedJMarch26, 1925. Serial No. 18,631.

This invention relates to themounting of windows and is particularly adapted for erate satisfactorily when the window has been installed.

It is a further object to provide a rigid 10 guiding channel from which the window glass can be extracted without splitting the channel at the belt.

Other and more specificobjects will appear from the following description.

Referring to the details of the drawings, there is shownin Fig. 1 an automobile door 12 and window well 14. WVhile we have shown vthe invention throughout :as applied to an automobile door, it is obvious that the invention is not so limited but that it has various uses and may be employed with any other kind of supporting frame. 9

The window or closure 16 is adapted to be slidably supported on the frame member 10, the movements thereof being controlled by the window. regulator 18 engaging, as at 20, with a controlling member carried by the window. This particular construction forms no part of our present invention and any other form of window regulator may be 4Iused if desired. The door may be provided with any preferred, door latch indicated generally at 22. We have designed an improved mounting for the window 16 constructed as follow'sz' The side members 24 of the frame mem ber- 10 are cut away as at 26 to'prov'ide 10 provided with the 'usual'window opening pockets for receiving the window guides 28.

The guide members 28 according to this in- -vention are drawn on the arc of a circle and terminate short of forming a complete circle. The free edges of said members may be inturned to provide reinforcing flanges 29, and are spaced so as to leave the longitudinally extending opening 30 for the window. The interior of the guide members are preferably provided with distortable packing material 32 to prevent any noise during the use of the Window and to protect the same against breakage, the packing materia'l being held against dislocation "by" means of the inturned fiangesf29. The

guide members28 are heldi'n; place by the molding strips 34 which engage and clamp the guide members in their set positions. Additional securing elements inthe form of plates 36 engaging the lower end of the guide members form with thefside member or Lone ISLAND,

24"aindmolding strip 35 a complete enclosure I for the lower end of the guide' members. The plates 36 in the construction shown are in Fig. 5 and the Windowis inserted into the position shown in said figure so that,

upon rotation'of the guide members 28 to the position shown in Fig. 4, the Window is securely held against displacement in any way except for its normal operating movements. The molding strips 34 are then secured in position so as to bear tightly formed with outstanding arms 37 provided with abutting pads 38 upon which the 'windowor the operating member-carried thererest when the window is in lowered position by the plate 36. 'The guide mem bers are then, moved to the positionshown normal operative positions.

between said guide members and said window. 3. In combination with a frame member against the guide members 28 and the window is ready for use. The window may be removedat any time by rotating the channels 28 to the position shown in Fig. 5. This may be accomplished as by means of a tool shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4.

It will be seen from the above description that the window need notbe placed in the frame until the door has been otherwise substantially completed. This avoids any like-.

We claim as our invention: r 1. In combination with a frame member having a window opening therein, a window adapted to be mova'bly supportedtherein, means for'supporting and guidingsaidwindow therein, said 'means comprising rotatable guide memberscarried bythe frame member and having longitudinally extend ing openings constructed to 1 receive said window when; said guide 'inemb'ers are rotated to abnormal positions, said window being held against removal by said guide members. when the latter are rotated to their 2. In c'ombinationwith a frame member having window opening therein, awindow adapted to .be movably supported therein, means for supporting and guiding said win= dow therein, said means comprising rotatable guide memb'ers carried by the-frame member and having longitudinally extending openings constructed to permit the insertionzof said window thereinto when said guide members are rotated to abnormal posi tions, said window being held against removal by said guidemembers when the latter are rotated to their normal operative position, said guide members containing shock absorbing packing materialpositioned having a window opening therein, arwindow- 7 adapted to be movably supported therein,

means for supporting and guiding said'window therein, said means including a substanhaving a longitudinally extending tially rigid rotatable guide member, means for rotatably supporting said guide member on said frame member, said guide opening constructed to permit the insertion of said window thereinto when said guide member is ent escape of'the window, its only pos-- member rotated to an abnormal position, said window being held against removal by said guide member when the latter is rotated to its normal operative position and means for holding said guide member. normally in fixed position.

4. In combination with a window frame having a window opening therein, a window adapted to be movably supported therein, 11183113 for supporting and guiding said window therein, said means comprisingrotatable guide members carried by said window frame and having longitudinally extending openings to receive said window when said guide members are'rotated toone position,

said window being held against removal by said guide members when the latter are rotated to theirnormal operative position, clampingstrips engaging saichguide incur bers to hold them normally in position, and additional clamping elements par tially encircling said guide members. 5. In combination with a window frame having a window opening therein, a window adapted to be movablysupported therein, means for supporting and guiding said window therein, said means comprising rotatable guide members carried by said window frame and having longitudinally extending openings to receive said window whensa id guide rmembers are rotated to one position,

said window being held against removal by said guide members when the latter are re tated to their normal operative position, clamping strips engaging said guide members to hold them normally in fiXedposition, additional clamping elements partially encircling said guide members and stop members for said window carried by said additional clamping elements. b

6. In a window mounting, awindow guide comprising a plurality of metallic 'casings provided with slotted openings for receiving said window, and means permitting the rotation of one of said casings about a 1on giftudinal axis, the opening in saidlastnamed casingbeing ofgreater width than. the thickness of said window to permit the removal "of said window from said casing when the latter has been rotated.

. 7. In a widow mounting, a window guide comprising a hollow metallic casing provided witha slotted opening for receiving said window, neans for movably supporting said casing, sai'dmeans permitting therotation of said casing about a longitudinal axis, shock absorbing packing material 130- sitioned within said casing in position to be engaged by a window inserted into the same, said packing materialserving to space said window from said metallic casing.

r 8.
